Re: [Harp-L] Effects pedal that would sound like an accordian?

Having had the privilege of being seated at a table where Jerry Deviller 
was holding forth it became clear to me that how one makes a harmonica 
sound like an accordion is by technique and not effects or even the 
harmonica one chooses.  A long while back I played with a guitar player 
who did a dead on imitation of a banjo played on an electric guitar.  No 
effects were employed.  It was all about his picking patterns. 
Listening to tangos played on chromatic harmonica you can hear very good 
players achieve a bandoneon sound and again it is not at all about 
pedals.  It's just how they get to the notes.  Listening to the really 
good Irish style harmonica players the same thing is apparent, technique 
is what creates the convincing sound.

Here's a Jerry Deviller youtube, recorded by Richard Sleigh.  Really 
great stuff.  fjm
